I stopped here on my way around the area for a photo.

Found this trig while out on a caching run through the Liverpool area. Total haul for the day was over ten caches including 6 trigs, some GC caches and a virtual.
This was my third GCA cache for the day. A very different type of trig to the usual. Have never found one like this as yet. Parking a little way up the road I walked along Cumberland Hwy until I got to the Schweppes factory. Snapped the required photos and then thought how nice it would be to have a refreshing tonic and ice on such a hot morning! I wonder if this factory is still in use??
Thanks for the cache Geocaching Australia
GCA Find #189
Hoping this find will move me one step closer to the destination, be that either the blue tile or my goal of 100 trigs!

Another 1 completed on the way home from work while it’s a long day light, nice to visit. The hardest part was to find a place to park & take the shot - thanks

Out and about with phlphotos...although I took a normal shot of the stack, I've decided to publish something a bit different.

Stopped in the nearby carpark around the back and walked to a good vantage spot to take the photo. Thanks for the trig

Found 8:30pm on my commute back to home via my parents place. Since it was the last day of the games I thought I'd find a trig or two somewhere along the way. This 'trig' was done after two previous ones and after a slight detour on the way to Fairfield. Difficult taking a photo with an iPhone but used a bright torch to light up the stack and pray the photo came out ok. Looking at the photo you can make the stack out just..

Found today with friends doing the driving duties, I wanted to find a few more but I was outvoted.

A day trip planned with LuckyL10n to start grabbing a few trigs in different areas of Sydney. Hit Campbelltown, Liverpool, Fairfield and Bankstown today...and grabbed a total of 32. Back in a couple of months for another go.
No problems here and the photos were soon grabbed.
Cerberus rules here.

Had seen this one before, but wasn't able to stop in time. Today as I was passing through the traffic was so slow I had heaps of time to admire this strange tower

#GA215 - 12:50; I was headed home from a weekend event in Cabramatta and decided to check out a couple of the local trigs on the way home. I had logged one nearby and headed back enroute to home and was driving straight past this one. Parked the geomobile in the carpark outside the gates and attracted the attention of security. Not sure what he thought when I said I wanted a photo of the chimney because it is a trig point, but he went back into his office and left me alone. Took the happy snap and was soon on my way again.

Took a photo some months back and then forgot about it (yeah, I know, how could I forget to log a cache).
Grabbed a shot whilst stopped at the traffic lights. Pretty sure one of my many cousins worked in that factory for years.
Cheers,
Michael.

Came to see my daughter at her assembly and finally managed to stop and get this passive trig.

Found this one without any trouble, as it is visible from a long way off, still wanted to get close enough to see the site, now part of Cadbury Schweppes.
